Kendrick Lamar - GNX (FULL ALBUM) | FIRST REACTION

Comments

This is the second Kendrick album that I thought I would get the full album on Patreon- why pay if the same reaction is on YouTube gor free

Sonya Calloway

Do y'all have an unedited version? The cuts are messing with the flow of your reactions!

Jamie Giblett

Finally subscribed :) 1st ever to do this on patreon. Was really looking forward to your reactions. Thank you!

Alyssandra

Love watchin yall! Why are the hooks edited out?

danielle berrios

I swear ya'll are always in the middle of your usual grind whenever kdot drops and it fucks your whole shit up lol. Some of the best reactors out. Keep it up young guns.

Roger Calamaio

I hope the guys were able to get tickets to the Toronto show. They deserve to be there.

Tamara Pearson

its actually a spin on Pac's "Me and my Girlfriend"

Sdot

Feel like not too many people give Gloria its flowers. It's pretty much Kendrick's own spin on Common's "I Used to Love Her"

Dennis Florendo

So ur going to act like those ladies weren’t going @ each other this year?? Nicki jumped in the SB thing & bought some Kenny hate with that(for lil Wayne).I think when he was talking about niggas being broke it just went with the rhyme scheme.My opinion is Kendrick won’t acknowledge Nicki that much because she is a woman so this was a clever way to do so 🤷🏾‍♀️💯

HotCumodity77

Joined up just for this one!

Justin Smith

Love this. Can u guys also react to J Coles new podcast?

Teddy Hart

I think you're reaching seeing that Meg hasn't even responded to that lady. And if that's the case, who's he's talking about regarding the broke niggas?

January

It's not Jimi Hendrix. He's from Seattle.

January

They’re saying Billie Holiday, Jimi Hendrix, this is another convo i had on IG. A lot of interesting takes and interpretations of what this song could be about and who :)

Karilyn Burgos

Hi! So i spoke to my mom about this and Isiah 17 and she said Lucifer was the music conductor in Heaven. That was one of his many gifts, and most were musical. He’s definitely talking about Lucifer here.

Karilyn Burgos

Congrats on this, wish you all the best! :)

Karilyn Burgos

Y’all are so dope. I only know Prince’s name which I’m pretty sure is not just Prince but y’all keep it close to the vest. Don’t stop! This is the most insightful reaction podcast in the game

John Buckman

I think its def possible since the gnx snippet isnt on this & theres hints at another project. At the very least he’ll release a deluxe. But i agree we shouldnt get our hopes up, but its super weird to snippet a song that isnt on the album & it doesnt sound like some regular song, it sounds like an intro/outro type track

Chris Malinowski

We been overdue for a kendrick album like this

Chris Malinowski

He heard yall were doing a J. Cole album... and said, it's JUST big ME

Antonyo St John

This is about love and appreciation for his pen. I believe that’s one of the key concepts. The Mexican woman singing throughout the album represents the emotions of his pen, and it all ties together with the final track, Gloria. If you translate what the Mexican woman says into English, it becomes even clearer.

Michael Bidek

and they all have less than 1 million monthly listeners on spotify (other than SZA and, I think, Roddy Rich)

Ashwini Rao

You are right! All of the features, including Deyra Barrera (the spanish singer) are from the West Coast/LA. :)

Ashwini Rao

As a philosopher (yes, I have a Masters degree and about to do my PhD LMFAO) - I agree. Reincarnated is just a layered song. Time to switch my specializations.

Ashwini Rao

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

T Glo

The cuts are jarring. I would watch another hour of them going on hip hop tangents about this stuff.

Paul

Reincarnated will be dissected in philosophy/universities. Thesis/dissertations will written on this song. That song is just wow!!!

Karilyn Burgos

Reincarnated is about past life regression, he’s talking about his past lives. He says “i did past life regression” past life regression is sometimes used as a form of therapy akin to Ayu.

Karilyn Burgos

video would probably be too long although i agree

Nicholas Ingall

Boldy James new

Anders Ødegaard

A lot of nigga thirsty for rap beef 🤣

Randy Seals

A lot of niggas will find anything to be a Cole diss Lol 😅

Randy Seals

KENNY MASON DROP🗣️🗣️

Eric Garcia

Super excited to see this reaction 💯💯

Shantell Kight

MAN WE HERE had to wait till Monday morning for this one!

Dameville

Can’t be Whitney. She didn’t have to work the “chitlin’ circuit”. She was a well-connected industry baby. Also wouldn’t make sense for them to be the same spirit reincarnated as Kendrick was in his mid-20s when she passed.

Ayanna Fisher

Not everyone YG 🤣🤣

NieceNese🥷🏾

I don't know if its because I'm from the west and that sound I already fuck with that I like the bangers more than the introspective stuff on this project. I always wanted to here K dot do a whole West Coast album and this is what it is and Im loving it.

Izak

The Spanish singer gives me like day of the dead vibes. I think that goes well with the reincarnation

Ri'an F

Hey now, hey nooow this is what dreeeams are made of!! That’s Lizzie McGuire movie lol

Ri'an F

Love the video! Only thing I’d ask for is the patreon version to be fully uncut. Felt like you guys cut out a few spots I wanted to see you react to.

axel greenlees

Reincarnated is a conversation between the devil who has taken on personalities over the years as different successful people in entertainment and god. Elvis, Whitney and Himself. This is a pac sample and for sure my favorite song on the album.

Andrew Gillespie

I don’t care what anybody say & I could be reaching but on “Tv off” when he said “I hate a b*tch that hate on another b*tch & they bother hoes” I believe he was talking about Nicki & Megan 🫣😝💯

HotCumodity77

Well I was thinking Jimmi also but then I thought about the year kenny said & it don’t add up but the second verse is about Billie…I’m still digging for person on the 1st verse ✌🏾

HotCumodity77

On Reincarnated I believe he was talking about Billie Holliday on the second verse…The 1st verse I am still looking into 💯✌🏾

HotCumodity77

See the version on YouTube with all the cuts and skips... come to Patreon and pay money in the hopes of a full uncut version... and it's still full of cuts and skips. =/ Love the content and y'all always have great insights + excellent vibes... but man.

jayyy_rayyy

I remember people were saying there would be another drop after Damn.

Ish's left foot.

Theres no second album this was it, dont get your hopes up. I would say this is his second best piece of work and it will grow on everyone. He can not be the same guy every album i would say just be happy it didnt take five years this time

Estavan Luna

The Snoop shit was disgust

Kelly A. Marksbury

‘Dissonance’ 58:08

Asis Sotelo

RE: REINCARNATED: My interpretation is that in the last verse, "Kendrick" understands why his Father has kicked him out (in this life, but also call back to the past lives, but also setting up the bigger scene: God kicking Lucifer out of Heaven). He "Kendrick"/aka this incarnation now understands and "forgives" IE grows from the pride. The back and forth is really between Lucifer and God, but also works on the Kendrick level. God explains to Lucifer that he kicked him out due to his anxiety and disobedience ("You didn't like authority, only searched to be heinous"), but acknowledges that Lucifer was God's best director "You were my best director... it was colors, reds... blues..." (the Bible references Lucifer as the angel of music). God tells Lucifer he sent him to earth for "rehabilitation" but he's just been poisoning others- "but here we are now, for centuries you manipulated man with music" Lucifer has been using his talent for evil, in each of his manifestations (lives as talented Black musicians in Verse 1, 2, 3). Lucifer - a confused son, has reincarnated through these different lives, exploiting his gift, living selfishly and without discipline. So this is where we understand the story is truly about the fallen angel Lucifer, and his manifestations throughout time. And Lucifer, seeking his Father's love and approval, has only ever wanted to be accepted. But in this lifetime, Kendrick has broken the curse. The verse ends with Kendrick/Lucifer maturing. And it's a similar ending to Mother I Sober, in that Kendrick now vows to use his powers for good. By 'rewriting' this story, and learning the lesson in this incarnation, Kendrick broke Lucifer's generational curse (as he mentioned in the last album), he weakens "evil"; he's now channeling his talent (even in destruction) for salvation. But he's going so deep to acknowledge that the devil is within himself. It's not out there in the world, as we are all taught as kids. And it isn't his denial of this, it's his acceptance and embrace of his nature that earns his place back in Heaven. It's really bone-chilling.

Karla Moreno

Yeah I'm not trying to be too thirsty for rap beef (that's a lie, I'm all for this), but we could still get kendrick vs cole, I also went back to Euphoria and Meet the Grahams and I forget exactly what the lyrics were, but I think there were more shots at Cole in those disses than I previously had thought, even though obviously the focus was on Drake

Rudra

I was looking to see if anyone thought that also. Even the “more blood will be spilled it’s just paint to me” seems like a callback to Coles “my friend went to war & I walked away with all their blood on me” Even with the I’ll pick a side for you lines- like prince said stay over there 😂

saymiah

100%

Torin Reese

@35:38 is from the Lizzy McGuire movie 🤣

Spencer Felts

Us in Cali definitely appreciate that he made this! He put a lot of ppl on and made a fire west coast project 🔥 I could see THE ALBUM still coming in a cpl months 👀

Alfonso Nunez

I love this album front to back. Gloria is beautiful.

Lacey Miller

Kendrick once said that he learned work ethic from being in the studio with Wayne... so the irony.

Kiara

“Sing to me, Kendrick.”

Christopher Sean Moreno

Got the app just to watch your reaction and listen to your review. Would’ve loved to see more for the end of gloria, which is heavenly, but great work regardless.

Oumar Coly

I swear Luther sounds more like kehlani than sza then the other song is sza

Timi Pinmiloye

yeah i just read about it, apparently kendrick is talking in the perspective of a symbolic character that rose to fame that was talented yet flawed. basically highlighting the triumphs and pitfalls of the music industry then. second verse is definitely Billie Holiday from the chitlin circuit and brown sugar references.

Bashar

It was also a surprise release, and began with him talking mad trash AFTER Hit ‘Em Up, his biggest diss track. Definite heavy Makaveli vibes, and I think very intentionally, so.

Jae Right

This album reminds me of Makaveli (Don Kiluminati) which was 12 songs, completely about reincarnation, had heavy biblical references, put his lesser known local artists on, and included a song that personified his gun as his girlfriend.

Jae Right

They definitely picked up on the “Pac Vibes”. Good enough. ☺️

Jae Right

Complete disbelief 🫢

Jae Right

Him having a song with SZA after drake said she had him wiped down is a flew

Brady

You guys gotta go back to "Gloria" and check out how many word plays there were related to writing before the "pen" reveal at the end. You could make a video on that alone!

R E

I didn't even think of it but yeah TV Off is gonna go nuts on that superbowl stage. Need Mustard to come up on stage while Kendrick screams his name

Rudra

THere were definitely shots at Cole on this. A lot of the "no apologies" lyrics and rules of engagement lyrics were definitely about Cole, and I don't think I'm reaching. Interestingly, I don't think Kendrick is just taking it as a W that Cole apologized, I think he still wants smoke with him

Rudra

I'm a little bit of a Wayne hater, but even given that I think he's been moving extra corny and his response to kendrick mentioning his name was stupid. Kendrick's gonna take out all of young money by the end of the next year

Rudra

Hearing Wacced Out Murals in my car for my first listen was fucking insane, I was going crazy, and if you still did reactions in the car you would have had an absolutely insane reaction

Rudra

Reincarnated is all about lucifer being reincarnated through all these different musicians. A guitarist first, then a singer, and then kendrick. Finally lucifer is standing before God the father sort of pleading his case.

Vice

50:50 Darae’s face at MUSSSSTTTTTAAAARRRRDDDD! 😂

Jae Right

Idk something about them makes me think they’re in Canada.

Curtis

There are definitely Americans who don't know that beat. Especially if they aren't huge Pac fans or weren't alive in the '90s.

neenAKAneena

Pretty sure @13:26 he was saying cackling about Diddy

Rashimoto

K.dot needs to come out wearing a ref uniform with a whistle and throw the flag on “the game” for “tv off”. Gotta have a full marching band with a drumline

Ronnie Z

This album/mixtape is definitely dedicated to the west coast as a victory lap. He came with the hits but also some very introspective tracks like “man at the garden”, “reincarnated” and “gloria”. I feel like all Kendrick fans are getting tracks they enjoy with this project.

shots

lol

Alemayehu Kidus

Thanks,GOATED

Alemayehu Kidus

Idk if its hendrix. Jimi didnt live in Detroit as far as i knew.

Chris Malinowski

Made Niggaz isn't one of Pac's mainstream hits so I'm not too mad at it. Especially at their age

JayDubb1977

Yep he catches a lot

Chris Malinowski

I think they're Canadian.

Ashley Alvarez

It's Prince looking back and forth stunned at 32:00.

Ashley Alvarez

35:40 the Lizzie Mcguire movie 😂

Emily

I was disappointed they didn't know the Made Niggaz beat lol. What country are these guys in by the way?

Curtis

Would be super cool to get a revisit on reincarnated after you guys get some time to really dig into it. loved the video, thanks guys

Oliver Arnold

I'll also add that y'all are correct in believing that Kendrick was trying to put LA on with this album. Not just in the artists that he let on as features, but also the spanish guitar, spanish singer, etc. is an homage to the heavy hispanic population in Los Angeles. Honestly such a beautiful album.

Juanyae Allen

"You n***** couldn't try me in the tri-state" Idk if y'all remember that Kendrick has a waterfront penthouse in New York, and right after meet the grahams, there was a burner account showing all the gear they collected from Drake's mole. At the end of the video, he showed that he was on the waterfront in NYC. Basically telling Drake "you know where we at" Could be a reach but I think that bar was pointed.

Juanyae Allen

I’m glad someone finally heard the One Mic reference 🙏

Tj Wofford

Yeah, they don't usually do that. Not sure why they're doing it on patreon.

Curtis

Aye my man on the right might have the best, most accurate in the moment lyric breakdown skills on the internet. He's able to interpret the lyrics so quickly and highlight shit that I wouldn't have caught.

Curtis

y'all see Snoop's tweet after the album? 😂

Elijah Cherweznik

Lollll

Tre M

The cuts on this really kill my vibe please leave the cuts to youtube

John Beane

Great reaction. Thoughtful and entertaining as usual

Arie

every time you guys drop a full album reaction of an artist i love i instantly tap my card. love the work! ❤️🙏

Bashar

I believe in reincarnation, kendrick was talking in the perspective of Jimi Hendrix. mentioning him being a top guitarist etc. in the second verse it’s Billie Holidays perspective if im not wrong.

Bashar

MUSTARRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDD👺👺👺👺🔥

Gael Crdns

This does give more of a mixtape vibe than an actual full-fledged Kendrick album.

Arjo

Goated, but really wish there weren't so many skips and cuts through the bridges and choruses. Wouldn't mind a 3 hr video at all.

Jason Yu

In Reincarnated, I think that Isaiah 14 is referring to the section of the chapter where it talks about Satan being cast down from Heaven. It was line up with the idea of God speaking to Lucifer in that last part of the track. Just a thought. Love what y'all do. Keep it up.

Jake Brown

At least now we know why the upload took so long -- Darae had to cut out whatever he said about his grandma after that "cut my granny off" line

Ryan Rockwell

The exchange at the end listening as I watch y’all reminds me of Snoop talking to that spirit in Murder was the Case.

Arie

Whitney would be too young for the the chitlin circuit. That would’ve been like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin. Dina Washington.

Arie

Man why tf is it edited on this, thought that edited shit was just for YouTube

Attallah

MUSTAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

Luke Bayliss

Nah because it was an action that caused Nas to be let down. That weak a** “Work Out.” Kendrick got a legend playing victim because he earned an opportunity. Clear difference in the two.

Frankie Williams

In reincarnated, I think the woman he was referring to is Billie Holiday. She was in the Chitlin Circuit and abused heroin “brown sugar” & alcohol.

Shea

I think the Snoop thing was more like an mmmhmm okay moment. The Wayne part was disappointment/hurt.

Arie

The blank I’m guessing is about Diddy. He’s the one that has inspired all the jokes.

Arie

Andrew Schultz is the comedian.

Arie

but wouldn't it be null in void bc nas replied to j cole song on "made nas proud"

Juanez Lindsay

Irony, melanin he worked so hard to be good partially because of his admiration of Wayne. And now Wayne is upset about it.

Arie

Ya’ll always highlight the weight of artists’ words and that’s why i love your reactions.

oaka

I always enjoy when y’all capture the moment of discovering a project dropped. lol

Arie

Also, let us remember we get a 'Heart part' when an album is about to drop, not with the album itself....

Mariana GC

real! hope you enjoy!

VibeVilla

appreciate you!

VibeVilla

I watched 3 full albums reaction today so Im saving myself for this to be the last one. Thank you fam

tomer mazor

תראו מי פה..

tomer mazor

Y’all are so good at this. Keep doing your thing.

Victor Mosley

I really enjoyed this album. Already been through it a bunch of times. It's no surprise to me that reincarnated is my favorite track, such of banger of a 2pac sample. Very very in my wheelhouse.

WilliamT

AND WE GOT NEW MAC MILLER COMING IN JANUARY!!!

Marquis

I feel like that first blanked out section ends with "the son of dennis" or somethin

SAM-WISE GAMGEE

Prince, great catch with the Nas “one Mic” interpolation 🥇🔥

Gal Shalev

@35:29 😂 the song is from The Lizzie McGuire movie!!

Shamiha Malik

‘Tupac vibes’ great call early! The sample is a classic

Liam Hynes

Hearing tv off knowing that pglang means program language, and knowing how kendrick feels about music's subconscious power hits different. Especially with the superbowl feel, he's about to mass hypnotize a nation into turning their kids tv off 😂

Halil

No they were singing “What Dreams Are Made Of” from the Lizzie McGuire Movie, lol. That’s why they got it confused with High School Musical

Chujelly

Don't dream it's over by crowded house is the "hey now, hey noow" lmao

Bryant de Groot

Yo that blazin comment on tv off was on point 😂😂

Jozze Finesse

Been waiting on this

Luna

Y’all never miss. 💙. And it’s a testament to Kendrick how he didn’t even have to put Not Like Us on this album. It’s arguably the best single of the year, and it’s literally just on its own out there. Shout out for that Reincarnated dive too. You’re the only reactors that pointed out the last verse was God with Lucifer falling. I haven’t seen one person on first listen realize that wasn’t just carried over to be from KDot’s view. Seriously though, this is why we all wait impatiently with constant refreshing pages. What the two of you do, how you see/hear things and explain them is just on another level. Thank you for such great content. 💙

Kayla Reagan

“Talk Dat Shit” 🗣️🤣🤣🤣

Marcus Wilson

He said "irony" because the wayne part was a bar from a track on Kendrick's c4 since he was a big wayne fan

Halil

Reincarnated is the greater Kendrick song ever 🔥

malik2spiff MEL

Fun fact, the latina singing the Spanish on multiple tracks is from LA and sang for the dodgers.

Alec Victor

In Kendrick We Trust 🙏

Kenneth Sundby

Def Jam: Fight For NY reference 👨🏻‍🍳👌🏻

Ryan Rockwell

knowing Dave and Kendrick have been friends since 7th or 8th grade that's some crazy loyalty. Dave Free deserves so much credit for all the work he does.

Leanna🫶🏻

Andrew Schultz

ILean Left

Y’all are the best man. The only people I’ve seen so far that understood the subtext of this heart p.6. You can’t fuck with bonds like that.

TheMarshHare

Yeah, He got the beat for the title track only two days before release as he was heading to the studio. The label only heard about it, the morning off release. Definitely doesn't feels as thought/planned out as you'd expect from Kendrick's concepts.

Stefan

Defo looks like this was just a project to put some of the west coast guys on and the main album is coming January with the more introspective and lyrical kendrick

Aryan

We here! Worth the wait.

Jae Right

Fire reaction

Billy Simpson

That final song is so sick after that bitch is my pen. All the sleek references to books, writing, chapters, my hand around your waste, the favorite movie being the notebook.. ELITE!

Stefan

MUSTAAAAAAAAAARD reaction did NOT disappoint 🤣🤣🤣 💀

Kayla Reagan

my theory is that this isnt the "main" drop, this was more of an album to show he really about that, or that hes out there now, cuz it seems very targeted for it to be a main drop if that makes sense

ChuteMi

Finding out Jack Antonoff helped produce a lot of the album makes so much sense. They mustve really enjoyed making 6:16 in LA.

Leanna🫶🏻

NOTORIOUS!! “Ain’t no other king in this rap thing they siblings, nuthin but my chirren, one shot they disappearin” -kick in the door

J.Cole “I let Nas Down” kDOT “I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” Clear difference between the two artist. Cole caught a lot of shots in that intro. 🔥

Frankie Williams

This the one I've been waiting for. Vibevilla we here now!
